Check for leaks
Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. A small amount of water might enter the
washer. You will drain this later.
NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose
installation or replacement dates for future reference.
■ If you connect only one water hose, you must cap off the remaining water inlet port.
■ Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
Secure the Drain Hose
1. Remove the shipping material from the power cord. Drape the power cord over the
console.
2. Remove any cardboard used to move washer.
3. Wrap the drain hose to the laundry tub leg, drain standpipe or inlet hoses, with the beaded
tie strap. Push fastener into the nearest hole in the beaded tie strap. See view A or B.
If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed, put the formed end of the drain
hose into the standpipe. Tightly wrap the tie strap around the water inlet hoses and the
drain hose. See view C.
Level the Washer
Properly leveling your washer avoids excessive noise and vibration.
Install the Front Leveling Feet
1. Prop up the front of the washer about 4" (10.2 cm) with a wood block or similar object.
